Our top picks of Afro-punk tours, 2010

Tours. It's that fucking burning sensation you get inside when you see that your favorite band is coming to your city to play tracks that you've been obsessing about for who knows how long. And when that band tours to your city, true fans crawl to the front of the crowd, just to be in front of the stage to see their musical idols, to be among all of those other fans who know the music just as well. The feeling is intoxicating and so worth the wait, counting down the days… Continue

ShingoSays: The CMJ Roundup: CMJ is no joke

I’m bleeding exhausted. Those of you who were in New York City this past weekend, there’s probably a 100% chance you were CMJing. I too willfully and eagerly ran my body into the ground during CMJ, the College Music Journal’s music marathon/festival/4 day shit-show of every band you’ve ever wanted to see, back to back, and in a row all over the city. To do CMJ efficiently it requires a detailed schedule, cooperation from your friends who don’t want to go to rock shows, and…

A Nation Of Mistfits: Crass

To start off any new column on punk rock, it makes sense to go back to the beginning; to the halcyon days of 1977. A magical time, totally unlike our own, when a miserable international economy was forcing many to choose between unemployment, poverty, and boredom, or underemployment in industrial centers and a life of endless toil.

In the music scene, bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink… Continue

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

Usually I am a very optimistic person. I am always happy and smiling for the most part and don't let many things get to me. I must say, though, in the nights following Thanksgiving things have just been getting out of control and go from bad to worst. Here is a small list of the progression of events:

1.) An ex-boyfriend called me. Usually I wouldn't care, but this ex, well, he and I had been dating for four years. I was just getting over him when he called to tell me that he wanted… Continue
